Mary's Review: This is a great little paperback book for teaching small ones about insects. The photographs in this book are real and very lifelike. They are helpful in showing what the insect looks like and where the insect lives. The words are large and easy for beginning readers. Another great help is the index listing on the back page of the book showing the page number with the name of the insect on that page. Also the last two pages of this book contains a description of each insect and where that insect is from. This is a fun way to teach children 4-8 years of age about insects and where they live.

I was not impressed with this book. The pictures are real and good, but there is not an index oe labeling of the insects. What is the insect on page six? Who knows! All we know is that it lives on sand!
Where Do Insects Live? / Donde viven los insectos? is a simple book with great photographs of insects and where they live. It is in the science center of the preschool class and often leads to discussion and more questions from the children.
Extremely basic book about where bugs live. Then the end is like bug facts that are too high level for the audience of the book. So all around not the best for the classroom
Genre:Informational text Grade:K This book is filled with the habitat of bugs that will make a good science discussion.This book will make kids ask questions and make a great exploring activity. Love how they make it simple for beginning readers and its also easy to understand.
